Correction: you don't have to actually open a new window and unfocus it. Clicking on the desktop is enough for the menu to start appearing. Apparently when you log in nothing, including the desktop, has focus.
The main point remains, though: this first click should not be necessary. The desktop should receive focus automatically after the login. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/732004 Title: No "Desktop" menubar until the first window is opened -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
